Hello Bloglandia! I like big books and I cannot lie... Sorry, couldn't resist. Anyway, this post is all about LARGE (or are they just big-boned) books, including the biggest, the longest, and a ginormous (sort of) new release by yours truly. So, yeah, a little entertaining, a little educational, and a little bit self-serving. The … Continue reading My, What Big Books You Have…
Feeling the Burn (Out) – September’s Writing Update
Happy Hump Day Bloglandia! How did September treat you? I have to say I'm a little jealous of those of you in the Southern Hemisphere who have just jumped into spring because I absolutely detest autumn. Still, after the brutal heat waves and wildfires in the Pacific Northwest this summer, the mucky rain and cooler … Continue reading Feeling the Burn (Out) – September’s Writing Update
Getting Stoned with Book Makers
Happy Hump Day Bloglandia! Now, before you think this post is about cannabis legalization, it's not. Sorry to disappoint. However, books do take you to all kinds of worlds of the imagination, so in a way, they are mind-altering. And it turns out, over the next few months, books might be just as tough to … Continue reading Getting Stoned with Book Makers
Going Medieval on Book Thieves
Happy Wednesday Bloglandia! So back in the Long Long Ago Times (aka "pre-pandemic") I used to take these things called "vacations." You may have heard of them. To prepare for these vacations, I would go through several mad rituals such as planning outfits (only to wear the same two things the entire trip), organizing toiletries … Continue reading Going Medieval on Book Thieves

Getting Double Booked in August (Writing Round-Up)
Hello Bloglandia! I almost didn't get around to doing a video update this month (hey, who just cheered?!). But in the nick of time, I threw myself in front of the camera phone and recorded a writing update. If you prefer a just-the-basics update, you'll find that below along with my sales stats from August. … Continue reading Getting Double Booked in August (Writing Round-Up)
July’s Reading Round-up: Location, Location, Location
Once again, I found myself tumbling into a curious reading theme in July. This time many of the books I picked up had troublesome buildings playing a key role in the story. From the possessed printing office of The Stranger Times to the dark demons haunting Gil's All-Fright Diner to the tragic event outside The Dakota in The Final Days … Continue reading July’s Reading Round-up: Location, Location, Location
“Did You Get the Email!?”
Hello Bloglandia! Bit of an odd (in a weird way) title there, but it was also an odd (in a funny way) phone call when that line was spoken. A little background about parental support regarding my creative endeavors first. My mom has always been super supportive of my writing without being shy to say, … Continue reading “Did You Get the Email!?”
Oh No! I’ve Become a Pantser.
Hello Bloglandia! How's your June going? Any plans for summer (or for winter, if you're on the upside-down part of the globe)? My June, so far, has been going swimmingly...and not just because we FINALLY got some rain here in Portland. See, I kind of, sort of wrote a book. Okay, a first draft of … Continue reading Oh No! I’ve Become a Pantser.
